I have a 1960 Bear Kodiak that is by far my favorite bow. This is pretty much the same as the 59 model reproduction that is out again from Bear. Shooting a recurve just has that special feeling that is hard to explain. Don't get me wrong I'm not a died in the wool traditional guy or anything, but this bow is what put Bear on the map for good!

There seems to be quite a few on and near the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge. Only place I have seen them for sure. Still haven't heard a legitimate reason why they won't allow any kind of hunting for them. Maybe if we start putting some pressure on the Department they can help put some pressure on the Refuge to let us "manage" them?

As long as you are hunting on the "Island" at the refuge or anywhere else east of the old river channel you will be in AZ and the usual stamps is all you need. They used to have an organized hunt where you draw blinds and such and hunt over alfalfa or bermuda grass fields out of pre dug pit blinds. Pretty sure that is still going on at Farm Unit 2.

Chip off the old block for sure! Congrats to you and the young man!

I replace my string when it frays excessively at the served areas. I also immediately replace my string if a bow does not come with a high quality string to start with. It takes a long time to wear out these newer materials but if they start to creep or stretch, it's time to get a replacement. Creep is easily noticed when your peep continues to rotate after shooting about 100 shots or so. I high quality string in good condition should not creep, rotate or stretch. If you are experiencing any of these issues it might be time to take a look at your string. Good Luck!

Colorado River @ Cibola National Wildlife Refuge is no big secret but gets a regular dose of geese every year, light and dark ones. If you really want to wack some snows go to Imperial Valley/Salton Sea area of California. Good Luck!

Way to go guys! Congratulations to the hunter and good on you guys for making that old timer's dreams come true!

Hey Bowsniper, Do you have a specific question you need an answer to, or were you looking for membership info? Yuma Valley Rod and Gun Club PO Box 6500 Yuma AZ 85366 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Yuma-Valley-Rod-and-Gun-Club/108065069243309 If you need the Club's President or another Officer I can get you in touch. Shoot me a PM if you don't want to discuss here. Good Luck!

Just about time to rekindle my "love/hate relationship" with the pesky collared peccary! As a side note, I found some javelina tracks in an area where I certainly did not expect to see them. Let's just say the javis have moved quite a ways west.

Kuiu Attack pants are my most comfortable and well designed pants, but my Cabela's Microtex pants are still my go to pants for hunting. They are extremely durable, quiet, quick drying and versatile for many conditions. I still want to try the First Lite Kanab wool pants.

If I was the hunter I would find it odd and a bit perturbing if someone posted my picture on a hunting site first. It's a matter of courtesy mostly but you make some good points. If someone else feels like posting it up here, knock yourselves out, but it won't be me.

Earlier in the month further east and north, later in the month further west and south. These are of course generalities and it depends on the given year and weather. Anytime you can get out there is a good time! Best of luck to you!

I hope you aren't kidding!

The buck I think you are talking about was killed by a Yuma native. Region 4 deer. No guides. I don't know the guy personally but we share a number of mutual friends. Deer of a lifetime for sure and further proof that you don't have to go to the Strip to kill an absolute monster. Out of respect for the hunter I won't post his name or pics but will confirm the rumors! I also don't know the score but from the pics counted at least 10 points on each side.

CZ 83 stainless .380

Would you consider any trades?

Lancetkenyon, do you mind if I send you a PM with some ?'s on setting up a turret cap?

Some of you either have very creative minds or recently ingested psychedelic drugs! LOL!

Hope you find someone else to tag along! Good Luck! Hard to top what Lancet said!

Ya I was thinking VW Bus or Lezbaru, but you might be on to something!

Totally awesome buck!

Very nice, congratulations!

The regs still call them Blue Grouse, so I guess I'm not the only one out of the loop!

Spectacular work Doug!

Let me just say, that is a bad butt old school camo shirt your old man has on! I'd pay a fair price for a wool shirt with a nice open pattern like that! Oh ya, nice buck too! LOL!
